seminar I went to

The other day, I finally finished writing my two e-books. One is on using your IRA to buy real estate and the other is investing and managing apartments. Regardless of your level of investing...you will find tips that will help you. Down load your free copy today!

This past weekend I went to a cool real estate seminar from www.landtrust.net This company is the only one with this unique way of putting property in a land trust. Using their system is not a alternative, but a new way to do everything (short sales, foreclosures, Self directed IRA, seller financing, etc)

It is a very cool option for investing. This is how it works... You find a motivated seller. You ask them questions about the property to gauge their level of desire. The seller agrees to hold their equity (or at least majority of it). You the investor, explain all of the benefits of course (benefits listed below). What is cool, is that the seller doesn't have to worry about making the payments, maintenance, paying taxes and mortgages...you the investor will pass on those fees to a buyer. This is called a triple net lease...this is where the tenant pays for everything. Major franchises do this when they lease space.

The property goes into a trust something like a escrow. The trust makes all of the payments on the property. The home seller actually gets to write off taxes as well. So what the investor does is negotiate an agreed price/value for the home now, not what it could be. The home seller, will then get their remaining equity, when the investor refi- or sells the property.

So the home is in a trust. The beneficiaries of the trust is
the original seller
the investor
the resident person living in the home


By doing it this way, it eliminates liens and judgments. It is a very cool system.


With the house in the trust, the investor, pumps up the value of the home 5%. This is where the investor makes their money. So the investor advertises the home, with "no bank qualifying, little as 2 monthly payments, no credit check etc.

The buyer pays more in monthly mortgage if they would of bought the house, but they benefit, because if they don't have good credit they can get it. It is like a lease option, but it really isn't I will explain later. Plus rather than putting 20% down the traditional way they can move in.


If you did a lease option...the person moving in puts a down payment on the property. Now since they have the money in, they have equitable interest in the property. If they happen to stop paying the mortgage, you the homeowner can not evict them, you have to do a judicial foreclosure...which means money out of your pocket and they will be staying rent free. Not only that it violates the due on sale clause from the bank. Sure a lot of people do lease options, with out the bank knowing, but like driving a car with out a seat belt all it takes is one accident.
